Hey all,
There are certain things during a game that the UIC is responsible for, hence the UIC label. However, if there is a relatively inexperienced PU and a very experienced BU, the senior official should, IF asked by the PU, make some input in regards to game management, rules interps, etc...
This should be done in a way that does not undercut the authority of the UIC on the field. Ideally, these things should be covered in a good pregame discussion, but sometimes, doo-doo occurs.
